About this file
This document is a notice from the Connecticut Labor Department's Wage and Workplace Standards Division dated November 29, 2006, addressing prevailing wage regulations for mason contractors and construction workers. The notice specifically focuses on forklift operator classifications and wage rates for prevailing wage projects under Section 31-53 of the Connecticut General Statutes.
The document clarifies two distinct forklift operator classifications: Laborers (Group 4) Mason Tenders, who operate forklifts solely to assist masons up to nine feet in height, and Power Equipment Operators (Group 9), who operate forklifts to assist any trade and masons at heights over nine feet. Effective January 1, 2007, the Connecticut Labor Department announced it would enforce the rates on each schedule in accordance with its statutory authority, ending a period of enforcement withholding due to a potential jurisdictional dispute. The U.S. Labor Department had conducted a survey of rates in Connecticut, but the results had not yet been published at the time of this notice.

Notice To All Mason Contractors and Interested Parties
Regarding Construction Pursuant to Section 31-53 of the Connecticut General Statutes (Prevailing Wage)
The Connecticut Labor Department Wage and Workplace Standards Division is empowered to enforce the prevailing wage rates on projects covered by the above referenced statute.
Over the past few years the Division has withheld enforcement of the rate in effect for workers who operate a forklift on a prevailing wage rate project due to a potential jurisdictional dispute.
The rate listed in the schedules and in our Occupational Bulletin (see enclosed) has been as follows:
Forklift Operator:
- Laborers (Group 4) Mason Tenders - operates forklift solely to assist a mason to a maximum height of nine feet only.
- Power Equipment Operator (Group 9) - operates forklift to assist any trade and to assist a mason to a height over nine feet.
The U.S. Labor Department conducted a survey of rates in Connecticut but it has not been published and the rate in effect remains as outlined in the above Occupational Bulletin.
Since this is a classification matter and not one of jurisdiction, effective January 1, 2007 the Connecticut Labor Department will enforce the rate on each schedule in accordance with our statutory authority.
Your cooperation in filing appropriate and accurate certified payrolls is appreciated.
